A> A> It is a short-term thing(.) I've been watching this with with some interest because 103.7 is the frequency I picked for my in-house flea-power FM transmitter, to distribute stuff from the main audio room to other areas of the house. Today I happened to be in Brookline, not that far from the tall buildings in Boston. I tuned in 103.7 FM to see whether I would hear religious broadcasting. I do not need hassle for interfering with a licensed station by my Ramsey Electronics mini xmtr. (Out here in Lexington.) I heard absolutely nothing but white noise and bits of audio splatter from distant or near-frequency stations. So either they are running REALLY low power, or they aren't really on the air yet in Boston.

She was our conscience.' -- Jerry had on Howie and Barbara on Tue afternoons (theme: theme from Mod Squad). Later Bob Katzen was a part of "the unholy three".

To help draw attention to the new incarnation of WHAV-LP and salute those who made the station listeners' favorite companion during its heyday, a reunion wine tasting and food sampling event is tentatively planned Thursday night, June 2, in downtown Haverhill, Mass. The public is invited to share the fun and help raise funds for the new station. Those interesting in participating are asked to contact Tim Coco at tcoco@whav.net or by calling (978) 374-2111, ext. 111. To learn more about the new WHAV, visit www.WHAV.net.
